Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang are a remarried couple, and both of them had a daughter before remarriage, and both were adults at that time.

Although they are not related by blood, the family gets along very well.

Uncle Wang's daughter works abroad, and she often sends money to the family, while Aunt Zhang's daughter is close and often visits her mother, and at the same time takes care of Uncle Wang as her own close relative.

The two daughters are so sensible, which makes the two old men feel very gratified.

As time went on, Uncle Wang and Aunt Zhang also got older.

Uncle Wang often lamented that when life comes to the middle and back of the field, family harmony is the most important! So, on this day they discussed and made a decision.

It turned out that the house where the second elder lives now is Uncle Wang's own.

But Uncle Wang feels that his remarried wife has been silently paying for him all these years and sharing many trivial things in life for him.

Not only that, but his wife's daughter also treats herself as her own father, which touches him very much.

So, after discussing with his daughter, Uncle Wang planned to make a will to give his wife a guarantee.

After consulting the materials required to make a will, Uncle Wang, accompanied by Aunt Zhang, came to the Zhejiang Will Library.

Uncle Wang admits that he did this for two reasons.

First of all, after a hundred years, this will can give his wife a guarantee.

Secondly, when the wife inherits the property, it can be distributed to her daughter by making a will.

Uncle Wang said that in his heart, he had long regarded Aunt Zhang's daughter as his own daughter.

In reality, there are many families like Uncle Wang, through wills, they can decide who and the chronological order of the inheritance can be determined according to their own wishes.

This means that even if there are multiple heirs within the family, a will ensures that everyone's rights are protected.

Article 1123 of the Civil Code [Effect of Statutory Succession, Testamentary Succession, Bequest and Bequest and Maintenance Agreement] After the commencement of inheritance, it shall be handled in accordance with statutory inheritance; If there is a will, it shall be handled in accordance with the testamentary inheritance or bequest; Where there is a bequest and maintenance agreement, it shall be handled in accordance with the agreement.

Article 1127: [Scope and Order of Inheritance of Legal Heirs] Inheritance is to be inherited in the following order:

1) First order: spouse, children, parents;

2) Second order: siblings, grandparents, maternal grandparents.

After the inheritance begins, it is inherited by the first-order heirs, and the second-order heirs do not inherit; If there is no first-order heir, the second-order heir shall inherit.
